Hey mister, mister, you can have my day but you better leave my nights alone. I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin home. Hey mister, mister you can have me pay but I'm never yours to own.
Only I, it's the night when I want it and only I, so leave my night alone.
I put a face on to wear through the day. It's a heavy uniform hanging on me, but here I am to do what I have to. Noddin my head, hummin the drum, going through the motion. Moving, carry on until the sundown calls the time that I'll be gone.
Only I, it's the night when I want it and only I gotta let it go. Only I, it's the time and I want it. Only I, alone.
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day but you better leave my nights alone. I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin home. Hey mister, mister you can have me pay but I'm never yours to own. I'll give you every day but the nights are just one.
You can tell me what to say, tell me what to do, throw me any way that you want to. She won't ever make me work the night through. Cause I've got places to go, people to see. Got my mind set on the sunset to separate me from this grindstone, carving out my way back home.
Only I, only I, only I, in the night is when I want it. Only I, only I, so leave my night alone.

You can tie me up for a moment and I'll earn what I owe. You can't tie me up, you better let me go.
